Minnesota Winter Chili The night I tasted this chili is the night I decided I could be a happy, athletic vegetarian. One mouthful made me realize that vegetarian food could taste just as good, and have just as hearty a texture, as meatbased foods. The bulgur wheat is a source of complex carbohydrates, and combined with the other ingredients, it makes a complete protein. There’s nothing like it after exercise, especially on a cold winter night.

2 tablespoons coconut oil or olive oil

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 cup finely chopped onion

8–10 medium mushrooms, finely chopped

½ cup finely chopped green bell pepper

½ cup finely chopped red bell pepper

½ cup finely chopped carrots

1 jalapeño pepper or other hot pepper, seeded and minced (optional)

1 cup frozen corn kernels

1 teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon ground coriander

2 tablespoons chili powder
